559: Chapter 559: The Arrogant Qingyi Sect 559: Chapter 559: The Arrogant Qingyi Sect “Madam, the Chen Family’s people have arrived,” the butler said from outside.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueru gave a snort, “Take them to the drawing room, I’ll be there in a mont.”
“Of course, Madam.”
After the butler left, Lin Yueru also spoke with evident irritation, “The Chen Family really thinks they are sothing special just because they know soone from the Qingyi Sect?”
Zhang Yang, detecting an undercurrent in Lin Yueru’s words, asked curiously, “It seems the Chen Family is not to be trifled with now?”
Lin Yueru imdiately realized she had spoken out of turn, especially since Jiang iren had explicitly told her not to discuss these matters with Zhang Yang.
“Heh, it’s nothing, it’s just that the Chen Family has been a bit too puffed up of late.”
Zhang Yang directly asked, “Does that an the Jiang Family is in trouble?”
This ti, Lin Yueru replied quite calmly, “What trouble could there be?
The Chen Family is nothing, they can’t shake the Jiang Family.”
Zhang Yang gave Lin Yueru a look but did not press any further.
“Alright, you stay here and don’t wander around.
I expect my daughter will be back soon, and she will co to find you then.”
As she reached the door, Lin Yueru did not forget to give Zhang Yang a final instruction, “Watch your mouth, don’t say anything rash.”
Zhang Yang smiled, “Don’t worry, Aunt Lin, I won’t speak out of turn.”
With that, Lin Yueru left, satisfied.
However, what Lin Yueru didn’t know was that Zhang Yang did not wait in his room for Jiang iren to return, but instead he quietly followed her to the drawing room.
At the door of the drawing room, Zhang Yang did not enter, but went to the adjacent room and then climbed from the balcony there to the balcony of the drawing room.
This way, he could clearly hear the conversation inside.
He could also see the people inside, but unfortunately, of the Chen Family’s mbers, he recognized only Chen Wenhao; the rest were strangers to him.
One person who looked sowhat like Chen Wenhao but older caught his attention.
Lin Yueru’s remarks later clarified that this man was Chen Wenhao’s younger uncle.
Being a direct blood relative, it was no wonder their appearances were so alike.
Besides this man, Zhang Yang noticed a young and beautiful woman, who was actually the sister Chen Wenhao had ntioned before.
It was this woman who had caught the Qingyi Sect’s attention and been taken away to cultivate.
Apart from these two from the Chen Family, there was also a young man who appeared to be from the Qingyi Sect.
Chen Wenhao’s sister, Chen Lulu, addressed this man as ‘senior brother’.
Yet this man was unreservedly ogling Lin Yueru up and down.
The lecherous gaze was so offensive that Zhang Yang felt nauseated, let alone Lin Yueru.
Lin Yueru was no pushover, and she directly told the man, “Control your eyes, or else get out.”
Lin Yueru didn’t have any kind sentints towards these people, as they were all there to cause trouble for Zhang Yang.
That much, Lin Yueru was clear about.
Their lips spoke of reconciliation, but to what extent they would compromise and what they would demand from Zhang Yang was anyone’s guess.
Thus, Lin Yueru also harbored a strong dislike for them.
Seeing Lin Yueru angered, the younger uncle, Chen Zhihai, quickly tried to smooth things over, “Madam Lin, please don’t be upset.
This is Yu Lei, the heir of the Qingyi Sect, who is experiencing the secular world for the first ti.
He isn’t well-versed in worldly etiquette, so please don’t take offense,” he said.
The implication was that he was ignorant yet justified, the heir of Qingyi Sect, and you had to bear it.
Lin Yueru naturally deciphered Chen Zhihai’s threats and warnings and realized that his visit today was not about reconciliation, it was to show his dominance.
However, Lin Yueru, concerned about Zhang Yang, didn’t want to act rashly with these people either.
Not to ntion, this was also what Jiang iren intended.
Consequently, Lin Yueru had no choice but to say, “If one doesn’t understand the rules, one must learn them.
If one can’t even manage that, it speaks to a lack of the qualifications for a Sect Leader.”
“What did you say?” Yu Lei’s face suddenly darkened, and he glared at Lin Yueru.
He was not the only heir of Qingyi Sect, and if these words reached the ears of his rivals, he certainly wouldn’t end up in a good position.
Lin Yueru scoffed, “What?
Does the heir’s hearing not work well either?”
“How dare you insult my senior brother like this,” snapped Chen Lulu as she abruptly stood, looking ready to lash out at Lin Yueru.
At that mont, the bodyguards behind Lin Yueru stood out.
Those who could serve as her bodyguards were masters skilled in Ancient Martial Arts.
They by no ans seed less imposing than the Qingyi Sect mbers.
However, the Qingyi Sect Elder, who sat there all along without uttering a word, was being vigilantly watched by Lin Yueru’s two bodyguards.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Chen Zhihai once again spoke up, “Heh, Mrs.
Lin, I’d advise you to calm down a bit.
Your Jiang Family’s business might be big, but regardless of size, it’s still just a business.
The semi-retired Jiang Family, its influence in the Martial World isn’t what it used to be.”
Upon hearing this threat, Lin Yueru beca instantly incensed.
“The Jiang Family may have retired, it’s true, but this vast Martial World is not for the Chen Family to dictate, nor is it at the rcy of any trifling sect or clan.”
Chen Lulu beca extrely angry, “Do you dare to call Qingyi Sect a trifling sect or clan?”
Yu Lei also laughed sinisterly, “Quite bold indeed.
I think the Jiang Family really has no reason to exist anymore.”
Hearing Yu Lei’s arrogant tone, Lin Yueru’s disdain for these people only deepened.
“It seems you didn’t co here to reconcile.
If we’re not on the sa page, even half a sentence is too much.
If you’re just here to make trouble for yourselves, you can leave now.
The Jiang Family does not welco you.”
Lin Yueru’s expulsion order evidently disquieted Chen Zhihai.
“Are you sure you want us to leave, Lin Yueru?
This is Zhang Yang’s last chance to save his life.
If you miss this opportunity, no one else will be able to save him.”
Facing such a threat, Lin Yueru felt deeply frustrated.
She didn’t want any harm to co to Zhang Yang, but these people were simply too arrogant.
Seeing Lin Yueru fall silent, Chen Zhihai imdiately felt smug.
Yu Lei, eyeing Lin Yueru’s legs under her cheongsam, was almost drooling.
He hadn’t expected a woman in her forties to retain such charm.
He was determined to have her today.
Thus, he brazenly said to Lin Yueru, “It seems the Jiang Family does indeed care about that Zhang Yang.
Since that’s the case, you’d better be polite to .
I order you to apologize to imdiately.”
Chen Lulu echoed him, “Exactly, apologize to my senior brother, or else Zhang Yang is dood.”
Lin Yueru’s mind was thrown into disarray.
She didn’t want to apologize, but what about Zhang Yang?
Since her daughter had invited them over, she probably hoped to reach so sort of compromise.
So be it, then.
It’s better to suffer a little indignity herself than for her daughter and Zhang Yang to face humiliation.
